In recent broadcasts, TV Republika has sparked debate with its show “Kulisy Manipulacji,” airing at 9:10 PM. The latest episode delves into whether Polish soldiers have the right to defend Poland’s borders. Hosts Katarzyna Gójska and Piotr Lisiewicz, alongside expert Robert Bąkiewicz, discuss the implications of recent border tensions, particularly regarding the so-called “bodnaryzm” tactics.
Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz has established a Legal Aid Center for police, Border Guard, and soldiers. This initiative aims to protect them legally amid heightened scrutiny.
The move follows concerns over the appointment of a team of prosecutors by Adam Bodnar, formerly Poland’s human rights ombudsman. He criticized border defense efforts as potentially discriminatory against migrants from non-Belarusian backgrounds.
The program also criticizes public figures like actress Barbara Kurdej-Szatan for her perceived anti-military stance, contrasting it with her subsequent television accolades.
